| Summary: | This report examines the cocoa supply
chain, its associated deforestation, and the role and
limitations of certification schemes to reduce
deforestation. The deforestation-related commitments from
cocoa companies are analyzed across the value chain by
looking at commitment types, implementation, and the
enabling environment. These findings are compared with
lessons from palm oil since it has the most similarities to
cocoa due to its large contingent of smallholder producers
and limitations that exacerbate deforestation. Finally, a
vision for zero-deforestation cocoa with key principles and
strategies is described. This work is meant to inform
industry, governments, and development partners to be
effective actors in a zero-deforestation cocoa future. |
